Definitions
- This invention relates generally to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 for mounting a panel to a wiring cabinet using at least one fastening element.
- the wiring cabinet comprises at least one frame profile.
- the panel has an upper end and a lower end, and also has a rear surface and a front surface.
- the method comprises a step of attaching the panel to the wiring cabinet into a premounted state, wherein the rear surface of the panel is in contact with the frame profile.
- the method further comprises a step of fastening the panel to the wiring cabinet by means of the fastening element, wherein the fastening element is inserted through an opening in the panel and an opening in the frame profile, and wherein the panel is held to the frame profile by the engagement of the fastening element with the frame profile, wherein the fastening element comprises an expanding rivet with an opening, and further comprises an expanding body, wherein the expanding rivet has at least two rivet legs.
- the step of fastening the panel comprises a step of inserting the expanding rivet in an insertion direction through the opening in the panel and the opening in the frame profile, and further comprises a step of inserting the expanding body into the opening of the expanding rivet so that the rivet legs are forced apart in such a way, that the rivet legs engage the frame profile.
- US 2,899,254 A discloses a method for fastening a panel to a wiring cabinet.
- the fastening element is formed by a rivet in particular.
- the use of a rivet for mounting a panel to the wiring cabinet causes the panel to be undetachable from the wiring cabinet.
- EP 0 825 697 A2 and US 5 759 002 A disclose methods according to the preamble of the independent claim 1.
- the panel is mounted to the wiring cabinet by means of a screw, wherein the screw is retained by a clip nut or a cage nut.
- the nut is thereby substantially on the rear side of the frame profile, and therefore has to be mounted to the frame profile in advance of attaching the panel.
- Methods of this type involve a series of laborious assembly steps, as all nuts required for mounting a panel are required to be in the precise location on the frame profile.
- the commonly used rows of holes in the frame profiles thereby impede the proper alignment of the nuts with the corresponding openings in the panel in advance of attaching the panel.
- the present invention's object is to provide a timesaving method for easily mounting a panel to a wiring cabinet, so that the panel can be easily fastened from the front side.
- the present invention allows an easier way of assembling and disassembling a panel to a wiring cabinet.
- the expanding rivet is directly inserted through the opening in the panel and is thereby automatically in alignment with the corresponding opening in the frame profile.
- the rivet legs can be retracted, thereby simplifying the disassembly of the panel from the wiring cabinet. Due to the second protrusion the expanding rivet is retained to the panel in the direction opposite to the insertion direction even in an unfastened state by the second protrusion from the rear side of the panel, simplifying the assembly of the panel.
- the expanding rivet is being inserted from the front surface of the panel. This further simplifies the assembly process for the panel, as all components and elements for fastening the panel are accessible from the front surface of the panel.
- the expanding body is inserted from the front surface of the panel as well.
- the expanding body is a screw.
- the utilisation of a screw has the advantage that the expanding rivet can be more easily unfastened by unscrewing the screw and thereby retracting the rivet legs, so that they no longer engage the frame profile.
- attaching the panel to the wiring cabinet comprises suspending the panel at its upper end from a horizontal frame element in such a way that the panel in a premounted state is pivotable about an axis parallel to the horizontal frame element.
- the panel has at least a first fold at its upper end, wherein the horizontal frame profile has at least a second fold, wherein the first and second fold interact as tilting mechanism, so that in a premounted state the panel is pivotable about the connection between the first and second fold.
- the expanding rivet is substantially round.
- the expanding rivet has a collar that radially protrudes beyond the circumference derived from the rivet legs. This collar sits on top of the front surface of the panel, when the expanding rivet is inserted through the opening in the panel and retains the expanding rivet to the panel in the insertion direction. This way the position of the rivet legs with respect to the panel and the frame profile can be specified and the assembly is facilitated.
- the opening in the panel and the expanding rivet are formed in such a way, that after insertion, the expanding rivet is held in a nonrotatable manner relative to the panel.
- the direction of the expansion of the rivet legs can be defined, whereby a particularly good retention of the expanding rivet on the frame profile can be achieved.
- the expanding rivet has at least one radial first protrusion, wherein the first protrusion interacts with the opening of the panel in such a way that after insertion, the expanding rivet is held in a nonrotatable manner relative to the panel. This allows the orientation of the expanding rivet towards the panel to be defined more precisely.
- the position of the radial first protrusion and radial second protrusion is in a way that an angle between the circumferential position of the first protrusion and the position of the second protrusion in regard to the rotational axis of the expanding rivet is not 0°. In a particularly preferred embodiment, this angle is 90°.
- the opening in the panel comprises a circular hole, wherein the opening further has at least one recess radial to the circular hole, through which the second protrusion is inserted while inserting the expanding rivet through the opening in the panel and the expanding rivet is then rotated until the first protrusion intersects with and snaps into the recess of the opening in the panel in such a way, that the expanding rivet is held in a fixated manner relative to the panel by the second protrusion and the collar retaining the expanding rivet to the panel in the insertion direction and in the opposite direction and by the first protrusion sitting inside the recess retaining rotational movement of the expanding rivet.
- This embodiment is particularly suitable for the aforementioned embodiment of the expanding rivet and also allows the alternative use of the opening for other standardized fastening elements. Further, this way the expanding rivet is retained to the panel even in an unfastened state and hence can be preassembled with the panel to facilitate the assembly for the costumer.
- the expanding rivet has at least two recesses inside the collar of the expanding rivet.
- These recesses have an angle between their circumferential position in regard to the rotational axis of the expanding rivet of 180° and can be reached from the insertion direction to apply a tool to the two recesses to generate torque around the rotational axis of the expanding rivet.
- the expanding rivet can be assembled more easily, especially in regard to the aforementioned embodiment, where a rotation around the rotational axis of the expanding rivet is necessary for an easy assembly of the expanding rivet to the panel.
- the recesses are formed in a way that a standard slotted screwdriver can be inserted into the recesses and can be used to apply torque onto the expanding rivet.
- the opening in the frame profile is non-circular.
- the opening in the frame profile is elongated in a first direction, and wherein after insertion, the expanding rivet is held in a nonrotatable manner relative to the panel and the frame profile, so that upon insertion of the expanding body the rivet legs are being forced apart in a direction perpendicular to the first direction.
- the expanding rivet is held in a nonrotatable manner relative to the panel and the frame profile, so that upon insertion of the expanding body the rivet legs are being forced apart in a direction perpendicular to the first direction.
- the front surface of the panel has an indentation concentric to the opening in the panel, wherein the indentation is shaped in such a way, that the expanding rivet with the expanding body are flush with the front surface of the panel after insertion. This allows the cabinet to be placed directly against other vertical surfaces.
- the indentation is conical, wherein the expanding rivet has a conical collar for supporting the expanding rivet in the indentation, wherein the expanding body has a conical headpiece, and wherein the indentation and the collar are shaped in such a way, that in combination they act as countersink for receiving the headpiece of the expanding body. This ensures the proper alignment of the expanding rivet relative to the opening in the panel.
- the present invention also provides a wiring cabinet with a panel, defined in independent claim 15, wherein the panel is mounted to the wiring cabinet by means of at least one fastening element, wherein the wiring cabinet comprises at least one frame profile.
- the panel has an upper end and a lower end, and has a rear surface and a front surface, wherein the panel is attached to the wiring cabinet, wherein the rear surface of the panel is in contact with the frame profile, and wherein the panel is fastened to the wiring cabinet by means of the fastening element.
- the fastening element is inserted through an opening in the panel and an opening in the frame profile, wherein the panel is held to the frame profile by the engagement of the fastening element with the frame profile.
- the fastening element comprises an expanding rivet with an opening, and further comprises an expanding body, wherein the expanding rivet has at least two rivet legs.
- the expanding rivet further is inserted from the front surface of the panel, wherein the expanding body is inserted into the opening of the expanding rivet, and wherein rivet legs are forced apart by the inserted expanding body in such a way, that the frame profile is engaged by the rivet legs.
- the panel is preferably mounted to the wiring cabinet by a method according to one of the previous claims.
- Figure 1 shows the panel 1 in the process of being attached to the wiring cabinet 25, which comprises several frame profiles 2.
- the panel 1 is thereby suspended at its upper end 30 from a horizontal frame element 26 and subsequently pivoted into a vertical orientation, which corresponds to the mounted position of the panel 1.
- the panel 1 further has several openings 14 for attaching the panel 1 to the frame profiles 2.
- Figure 2 shows the fastening element 3 utilised for attaching the panel 1 to a frame profile 2 with the rear surface 10 of the panel 1 facing the frame profile 2.
- the fastening element 3 comprises an expanding rivet 4 and an expanding body 5 in the form of a screw.
- the substantially round expanding rivet 4 is inserted through an opening in the panel 15, which is aligned with an opening in the frame profile 16, so that the expanding rivet 4 is also inserted through the frame opening 16.
- the panel opening 15 is within a concentric conical indentation 14, which is shaped suitably to receive a conical collar 12 of the expanding rivet 4.
- the collar 12 thereby acts as countersink for receiving the conical headpiece 13 of the screw 5, so that in a completely mounted state the headpiece of the screw is flush with the front surface 11 of the panel 1.
- the panel 1 further has a gasket 17 installed along the edges of the panel 1, wherein the gasket 17 is being compressed against the frame profile 2 by fastening the panel 1 to the frame profile 2.
- the gasket 17 provides a sealing between the frame profile 2 and the panel 1.
- the expanding rivet 4 has two radial first protrusions 8, which extend close to the outer edge of the collar 12 and have a face parallel to the conical indentation 14.
- the two first protrusions 8 have an angle between their circumferential positions in regard to the rotational axis of the expanding rivet 4 of 180°.
- the expanding rivet 4 has two second protrusions 9, which also have an angle between their circumferential positions in regard to the rotational axis of the expanding rivet 4 of 180° and their positions are turned 90° around the rotational axis of the expanding rivet 4 in regard to the positions of the two first protrusions 8.
- the panel opening 15, as shown in Figure 3 comprises a circular hole 19, which is concentric to the indentation 14, wherein the opening 15 further has two radial recesses 20 for passing through the second protrusions 9 and receiving the first protrusions 8.
- the radial recesses 20 thereby extend in a first direction 21 to the outer edge of the indentation 14.
- the second protrusions 9 can be passed through the radial recesses 20 and the expanding rivet 4 can then be rotated by a flat screwdriver, which is inserted into a slot drive incorporated in the conical collar 12 of the expanding rivet 4.
- the second protrusion 9 from the rear surface and the collar 12 from the front surface retain the expanding rivet in the insertion direction to the panel 1.
- the material of the expanding rivet 4, the first protrusions 8 or the second protrusions 9 must be slightly flexible to allow the rotation and then fixation of the expanding rivet 4, while the first protrusions 8 are pressing against the front surface until the first protrusions 8 snap into the recesses 20 and the second protrusions 9 are pressing against the rear surface of the panel 1. Since the orientation of the panel 1 relative to the frame profile 2 is fixed as well, the expanding rivet 4 is also fixated relative to the frame profile 2.
- Figure 4a shows in detail the expanding rivet 4 with its two second protrusions 9, after it has been inserted through opening 15 and turned to its final position relative to panel 1. It shows a cross-sectional view of the expanding rivet 4 with the panel 1 along the section plane A shown in Figure 2 .
- the second protrusions 9 thereby engage the panel 1, so that the expanding rivet 4 is retained to the panel 1.
- the second protrusions 9 thereby interlock with the inner edge 18 of the panel opening 15, whereby the edge 18 is tilted downwards by the indentation 14, thereby improving the grip of the second protrusions9.
- the expanding rivet 4 can therefore be inserted into the panel opening 15 before attaching the panel 1 to the wiring cabinet 25. Thereby, the expanding rivet 4 is securely retained to the panel 1 by the second protrusion 9 and the collar 12, and thus is subsequently inserted through the frame opening 16 upon attaching the panel 1 to the wiring cabinet 25.
- Figure 4b shows in detail the expanding rivet 4 with its two first protrusions 8, after it has been inserted through opening 15 and turned to its final position relative to panel 1 and the first protrusions 8 have snapped into the radial recesses 20 of the opening 15. It shows a cross-sectional view of the expanding rivet 4 with the panel 1, which is turned 90° in regard to the cross-sectional view shown in Figure 4a .
- the first protrusions 8 sit inside the radial recesses 20 and are locked between the indentations 14 in the rotational direction of expanding rivet. Thereby, the expanding rivet 4 is retained nonrotable in regard to the panel 1.
- the frame opening 16 is non-circular, wherein the frame opening 16 is elongated in a first direction 23.
- the panel 1 is arranged so that the direction 21 of the recesses 20 corresponds to the first direction 23. Due to the interaction of the first protrusions 8 and the recesses 20, the expanding rivet 4 is aligned with respect to the frame opening 16 in such a way, that the rivet legs 6 upon insertion of the screw 5 are being forced apart in a second direction 24, which is orthogonal to the first direction 23, so that the rivet legs 6 expand beyond the width 24 of the frame opening.
- the panel 1 at its upper end 30 has a first fold 28 for attaching the panel 1 to the wiring cabinet 25, which is formed in the shape of a hook, wherein the first fold 28 is hooked into a second fold 27 of the horizontal frame element 26, which is also formed in the shape of a hook, so that that the first fold 28 and the second fold 27 interact in the manner of a tilting mechanism 29.
- the panel 1 Upon suspending the panel 1 from the frame element 26, the panel 1 is therefore pivotable about the axis of the tilting mechanism 29, which is parallel to the frame element 26.
- FIG. 7 A detailed 3D-view of a preferred embodiment of the expanding rivet 4 is shown in Figure 7 .
- the rivet legs 6 are positioned in the same direction as the second protrusions 9. Therefore, the frame profile 16 is also clamped between the lower face of the second protrusions 9 and the rivet legs 6, which enhances the grip of the expanding rivet onto the frame profile 16. Further, the top face of the second protrusions 9 is slightly angled down to facilitate the rotation of the expanding rivet 4, when the second protrusion 9 is starting to press against the indentation 14.
- the two recesses 31 for applying a tool to generate torque around the rotational axis of the expanding rivet inside the collar 12 of the expanding rivet 4 are located in the same circumferential direction from the rotational axis of the expanding rivet 4 as the two second protrusions 9, which gives more room for the recesses 31 inside the collar 12 due to the added material of the second protrusions 9.
- the first protrusions 8 are positioned perpendicular in regard to the rotational axis of the expanding rivet 4. This position facilitates the rotation of the expanding rivet, when the second protrusion 9 is pressing against the rear surface of the panel 1 and the first protrusion 8 is pressing against the front surface of the panel 1.
- the first protrusions 8 are formed with their lower face parallel to the collar 12.
- the expanding rivet could also be clipped to the panel from its rear surface before subsequently attaching the panel to the wiring cabinet and subsequently inserting the expanding body into the rivet.
